Stubbs, the longtime honorary mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska, is recovering at Big
Lake-Susitna Veterinary Hospital after a nasty confrontation with a canine constituent. The poor public servant suffered a punctured lung, a deep gash on his side and a fractured sternum in the attack. Stubbs was elected mayor in a write-in campaign 15 years ago. It is not known when he'll be able to return to his duties at City Hall.

Schools are doing a much better job of teaching kids how make other kids look

Thirteen-year-old Halie Mossberger tries on a facial "scar" while learning how to
apply prosthetic makeup pieces to actors for theatrical productions at McGary Middle School

That's not lime in his Corona:

A Bahraini protester prepares to hurl Molotov cocktails
at riot police following an anti-regime demonstration near Manama. The
rally was sparked by the death of Sadeq Sabt, 22, who was fatally injured when he
was hit by a vehicle during a protest a month before.

Romanian riot policeman stride down a Bucharest street to confront protesters gathering
nearby. The demonstrators blocked traffic in the city for a fourth day to protest a
proposed gold mine development in the Transylvanian town of Rosia Montana.

Of those doing the Downward Facing Dog at a "guerrilla" yoga gathering during a wet Jacksonville (Fla.) Art Walk, the one with the worst form is the dog. His name is Maka, and he's being trained as a service dog.
